FIRST OF ALL, WE HUNT WHERE WE GET GUIDED TOO. WE WOULD PREFER WILD COONS, BUT THAT’S THE LUCK OF THE DRAW.


BOTH OF SID’S 1ST PLACE WINS WERE ON WILD COONS, ONE WAS IN MURPHY, N.C. THE OTHER WAS IN BANKS COUNTY GA.


HIS 3RD PLACE WIN WE GUIDED. HUNTED ONE FEEDER IN WHICH WE DIDN’T SCORE A COON, AND THEN TWO WILD SPOTS ON GAME LANDS IN WHICH WE SCORED ONE COON.


ONE OF HIS NTCH WINS WE WERE GUIDED TO JIM MCCONNELL’S FEEDERS.

IF YOU KNOW JIM MCCONNELL, YOU KNOW IF HE SHOWS UP TO A HUNT, HE’S USUALLY PACKING A COON DOG.

YOU MIGHT RECOGNIZE HIS LINE OF DOGS. THEY COME FROM COWEE CREEK IN FRANKLIN. YEP, COWEE CREEK CLINT, AND COWEE CREEK CHARLIE BOTH FINISHED TO GRNTCH RIGHT ON THE VERY SAME SPOTS SID GOT HIS WIN.

DOES THAT MAKE THEM ANY LESS A COON DOG OR A REPRODUCER? I THINK NOT.


SID’S OTHER NTCH WIN CAME FROM BRYANT HOLLDAND’S SPOTS.

YOU MIGHT KNOW A DOG HE USED TO OWN AND THAT HE FINISHED TO GRNTCH. LAUREL CREEK STYLISH BOZO? YEP, SID GOT HIS NTCH WIN AT THE SAME SPOTS HE FINISHED TO GRNTCH.

DOES THAT MAKE HIM ANY LESS A COON DOG OR A REPRODUCER? I THINK NOT.


NOW, AS FAR AS THE FOX GOES, IF HE’S RAN ONE WE HAVENT CAUGHT HIM AT IT YET. YOU CAN BETTER BELIEVE IF WE HAD, WE’D BE HONEST ABOUT IT.


BUT NOW A POSSUM, YOU BETTER BELIEVE HE’LL TREE ONE. WE NEVER SAID HE WOULDN’T.


SID IS NOT A PERFECT DOG, NOR WILL HE EVER BE.


WE HAVE NEVER PROCLAIMED HIM TO BE, NOR WILL WE EVER.


ALL I CAN SAY IS BRING YOUR LIGHT AND BOOTS, AND MAKE YOUR OWN CONCLUSIONS.


CAUSE WE AIN’T SKEERED TO SHOW HIM ANY NIGHT OF THE WEEK YOU'RE READY.

Thanks Brent. I have known Duke a long time.

I just like getting some of the folks on here fired up. The message board is boring sometimes.

You same folks that are cracking on all grand are trying to achieve the same goal if you compete in the hunts.

Christy you can not tell me that you would not be tickled pick if ole Sid made Grand, breed him to a Grand Female and the Pups made grand.

You would be in the same boat.

It is a nice selling point.

But to some extent it must be working. Every pups listed in the breeder of the year and sire of the year is connected to all grand very close.

I would assume that there a smaller number of All Grands being produced, yet they are at the top of the leader board.

I will let you guys in on a little secrect.

My two best dogs every were not all Grand.

They were once in a lifetime hounds.

I can only hope to get another regardless of pedigree, I love to go on the road and compete.

With Regards
